INTRODUCTION The purpose of the present study was to identify biomarkers of listening difficulties by investigating white matter microstructure in children suspected of auditory processing disorder (APD) using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI). Behavioral studies have suggested that impaired cognitive and/or attention abilities rather than a pure sensory processing deficit underlie listening diffi...

This study aimed at investigating the effect of visual (Cuisenaire Rods) and auditory nonsensical monosyllables using Pratt speech processing software as teaching techniques on retention of word stress. To this end, 60 high school participants made the two experimental groups of the study each having 30 students on the basis of their proficiency scores on KET (Key English Test). In one experime...

Discriminant analysis (DA) and self-organizing feature maps (SOFM) were used to classify passively evoked auditory event-related potentials (ERP) P(1), N(1), P(2) and N(2). Responses from 16 children with severe behavioral auditory perception deficits, 16 children with marked behavioral auditory perception deficits, and 14 controls were examined. Eighteen ERP amplitude parameters were selected ...

ABSTRACT Purpose: to assess whether there is a relationship between temporal auditory processing skills and altered distinctive features in cases of phonological disorder. Methods: 18 children aged 6 8 years, diagnosed with disorders participated the research. All underwent speech-language screening, assessment through GIN - Gap Noise Test, TPF Frequency Pattern Test TPD Duration Test. The numb...

要旨: 聴覚情報処理課題について評価できるタブレット上で動作するアプリケーションを作成し, 成人16名と小学3年生以上の児童33名を対象として実施した。 この内, 成人群15名と児童群29名の結果を用いて, 正答率, 標準偏差, 基準値限界を示した。 この結果, 両耳分離聴課題, 雑音下聴取課題が困難である児童1名を検出することができた。 一方, 成人群のデパートノイズ下で－15dBSN 比条件での単音節課題は困難度が高く, GAP 数え課題と持続音の長短判別課題については, 回答方法や検査手法を修正または削除を検討すべきと考えた。
